Dragon Ball Z Kakarot 2024 Review | Is It Any Good?

Dragon Ball Z Kakarot 2024 review - reviewed on PC
Throughout the years we've had so many different Dragon Ball games, ranging from my childhood favourite Budokai 1-3, the Tenkaichi games that people LOVED, and even some Gameboy ones that i will admit weren't bad for what they were. The last dragon ball game I covered on my channel was Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, a game where you create your own character in the Dragon Ball Universe, and do a bit of Back to the Future where you go back in time in the Dragon Ball Time-line and prevent changes from being made and ruining the time line. It was and still is one of my personal favourite Dragon Ball games, with the ability to create your own character, play them your way and all races having a transformation ability was brilliant.
BUT - there was another Dragon Ball game that released after Xenoverse 2 that many, including myself consider to be the best way re-experience the story of Dragon Ball Z without watching 18 episodes of Goku charging up a spirit bomb against his fight with Freiza, and its Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot.

    I feel like this game is so close to great but the combat really brings it down for me, especially when the enemies turn red and just eat your attacks and don't flinch.

    Agreed. The combat feels a bit mindless and way too simple and repetitive.

    I know this game wasn't the be-all-and-end-all for a lot of fans, but I am still grateful it exists. I grew up a die hard DB & DBZ fan in the 90s-early 2000s. I remember being a kid and wishing for an open world DBZ game forever. The Legacy of Goku series was the closest thing I ever got to that, and I cherished those dearly when growing up. DBZ Kakorot more or less felt like the big gen version of those when I played it. It's not perfect, but it was still a satisfying experience simply because it was the closest to giving me what I wished for as a kid.

    Hey, on the topic of the wanting the cutscenes to have different music I've actually edited all but one (Didn't feel it needed any changes), Stuff that I fixed were - changing and or removing certain lines the dub added that make no sense, don't need, or didn't match what the original japanese scene entailed (i.e Vegitos iconic ALRIGHT, dub made it a dull "alright now" so I've replaced it with the proper line and cadence from his FighterZ line) - Making the lines being said match the characters lips more closely (They didn't try to match them, they just slapped the dub voicelines where the jp ones were and called it a day) - and obviously changed music, to fit the moments more appropriately mostly taking inspiration from Teamfourstars DBZA but if you like the falconer score you'll like my ssj3 cutscene - and SFX, in the cases where I've replaced the music I have had to replace the SFX from scratch because the audio track for SFX and music are one in the same. So while doing so I took the liberty of improving certain SFX or adding SFX that should have been present (i.e Goku going ssj2 but the sfx of lightning isn't present) heres a playlist of all my cutscenes, link to download them will be ink the description leading you to Nexusmods :) kzread.info/head/PL14DL6C40ov5C7kbJVtr4eg0DEd5oW6Bs

    With beam struggles, best way to counter is to use the slow motion that happens when you go to use a super. The moment you see a large line appear aiming at you, quickly use a beam attack. You can do this infinitely as the slow motion doesn't sto so you can easily counter attacks.

    Not sure if the mechanic has changed but eventually you will upgrade the dragon from two to three wishes. At this point, possibly before idr, once u summon shenron and makebur wish and travel out the area, the balls are reset instantly to collect again its ike within seconds bulma is hitting us up to go get them again lol

    Despite all the DBZ games that have come out over the years, BT1 has the most badass and authentic Intro of all of DBZ games of the Franchise. BT2 and BT3 in my opinion still remains the most Unique and the best DBZ games in terms of content, quality and fanservices. And from the gameplay perspective aspects, these DBZ games that I mentioned are very close to the anime itself because of the Vibe and Charm, I don't know how to describe it but it was, and still is the most Unique DBZ experience you could have with the combat factor. (- Sheer amount de of characters - Transformations mid-battle (powering up and down) - Fusions mid-battle - Fast gameplay that has that "woah" feel - Tons of extra content - Story mode covering all sagas + movies - What If sagas - Shenron having permanent impact on game (character unlocks and whatnot) - Great tournaments that rotate availability - Edit characters with items (buffs) - 5v5 battles - Really Great and Epic Soundtracks - Destroyable environments - Entire stages could be blown up into their "destroyed" alternatives - Mission 100 being a great challenge - Artwork is 10/10 - Sound effects are great - Combat feels heavy and satisfying) Only Budokai 3, Infinite World and the Raging Blast 1 and 2 and all of PSP DBZ games except of Dragon Ball Z Evolution are still considered also very solid DBZ games, also the hidden gem that a lot of DBZ fans missed from PS2 Era of DBZ games is "Super Dragon Ball Z" which is also a real Unique and DBZ game, especially for the different gameplay aspects perspective.🤷🏻‍♂️✌️

    My issues were: ・In the story sometimes the skips are just huh?! I understand cutting out the fillers, but Trunks vs Cell? Especially with the Buu saga, felt like the devs run out of time. ・Sidequests. They are fun, but most of them have you travel to different areas so yeah, loading times. On the Switch they so long that I could make a cereal while waiting. ・(Not Kakarot specific)Voice acting. During side stuff, the npcs repeat the same line ・Battlewise, enemy hyperarmour is just a joke. And even in surge mode, you won't have that. Also those battle only cutscenes cancel out your attacks, like genki dama etc Overall fun little game, as a DB fun, I liked it.

    This is easily an all time favorite. I can nitpick it to hell like I can about literally any game but overall it was just incredible and fresh for dbz games. Long before this game was ever announced I said for years my ideal perfect dbz game would essentially be the legacy of Goku series getting remade on main consoles. I feel like I got that plus more with this game. Even down to the side mission of helping roshi find his magazines in the beginning and being named kakarot just like legacy of Goku was named after him, the legacy of Goku inspiration for this game is undeniable. This was a literal dream come true getting this game regardless of some issues it may have.

    Enemies having body armor 24/7 and having attack cutscenes that interrupt your attacks is what made me do the battle of gods dlc and max out all characters before playing the game for the 1st time. 😂 Kakarot rewards you for being high lvl and not being good at the game so … I did not regret it haha

    I wasn’t interested in Kakarot as I feel like a lot of Dragon Ball games I played kept reliving the DBZ saga but I do love the open world exploration and the graphics are fantastic. Makes me wish Xenoverse 2’s Conton City was more bigger and more mini conents for my characters to feel more alive and take screenshots. Also, I think this game could work for a gamer who never grew up with Dragon Ball and wanted to get into it without watching the anime.

    I really liked this game, I just finished it and I really had a great time, I really don't understand the bashing behind this game after yes the game and not perfect especially in terms of non-mission combat which they very repetitive and there is a lot of filling for nothing, for example picking up objects that are of no use. I would just like something that they put in Dragon Ball, but when Kid Goku.

    Gotta respond to your last few points as they seem rather unfair : 1) Playing as too many characters rather than having it be a DLC They probably made it to keep the gameplay interesting and not stale as you learn to play with multiple characters and their different attacks rather than wait till you get new attack for Goku. Also WTF dude, you WANT them to MILK the playerbase ? finally a developer gives you more than you asked for and you complain... 2) No Ultrawide support - if you talk about the black side bars there's a solution to that I found which is just turning the game to Borderless Window 3) I agree with you on the rest, fk the food and community systems they're so convulted I never even bothered with them
